I was going to post this on the jerfgoke blog, but figured that none of you probably ever check it anymore since it hasn't been updated in almost a year. I'm going to make a one year post-iversary entry when the time comes around. As a wise man never actually said, "I'm like Haley's comet, only blog when I got it."
Anyhoo. Got a lot on my mind today. Supposed to be reading for class which starts in an hour, but can't because my mind is full of cobwebs and little banshees. Yes, I do personify the voices in my head as creatures from the "Ghostbusters" animated series (and not the lame Ghostbusters, but the cool one with the gorilla.) It's a long story that I don't really want to get into, but let's just say that lately I feel like Uncle Rico stuck in my has-been days and wishing I had at least tested the waters of some other opportunities. I hardly feel that my destiny is set to be where I am now. I should have been the next M Night Shymalan—or however you spell it—except that my movies wouldn't suck. Rather than rehash the same clichéd formula with a ridiculous twist at the end I would rehash cheezy Indiana Jones movies or Run Lola Run ripoffs. And no, I would not be doing this as a porn director, you sick-o. ((On a side note, I just checked my bottle top—I won a free 20oz Mountain Dew with the purchase of another 20oz dew. Woo hoo.)) Ok, back to reality.
Is it just me, or does anybody else need a change of scenery right now? I think the zeitgeist of the moment seems that way. Reading other blogs right now gives that impression. ((One more side note: if you drive a Corolla for a few months and go back to driving a Focus, it totally feels like you're driving a go-kart. Try it!)) Slick is the only one who never seems to be affected by, what's the word? Ummm... I think it was in a Rammstein song. Maybe Herzeleid? Anyway, my Herzeleid is calling me, so it's time to get to class, zone out, and let the animated ghouls pick me apart for three hours until I can get home and watch American Idol. Such is the life of jerfgoke these days, and I suspect many other Americans.

You know that classic depiction of Hades with the arms that reach up and grab at the victim for eternal torture?
My version of that scene is full of elmo arms, red and furry, all trying to grab at me piece-by-piece and staring at me with those shifty, beady eyes.
*shudder*
You should move out here and maybe my lack of "herzeleid" can rub off on you. It would be a nice change of scenery for you.
Believe me, I'm going through the same things as everyone else, but I've been keeping so busy hanging out with some cool people and playing hockey and such so I escape it for a little bit at a time. Just enough to keep me from sitting in my apartment being all depressed.
I'm discovering this as I see it in some other people's lives, that you need to have some really cool hobbies to escape all the BS in the world. You're always going to have all the nonsense so make the best of it and have what fun you CAN have. Kind of like what they say in Dazed and Confused... "I had as much fun as I could when I was stuck in this place."
Oh Yea! And I DO check your blog and keep waiting and waiting for a chance to read that awesome post before you delete it...
Herzeleid, that's a good name for it. This fog seems to float around and land on each of us from time to time. There's been times when I've wanted to hop on the blog and scream for change; I didn't know what we needed to do, but I knew we had to do something.
Now that we're becoming domesticated and chained down by careers in different parts of the country, it seems like the "rHu mansion" is even more important than it was before. It's a crazy idea--almost as crazy as Jonestown or the Neverland ranch--but sometimes it seems like we can either choose that or the everyday average mundane life.
Something inside me still says that I have to do something different with my life. Something big.
I don't think I could live wiith myself if twenty years down the road all I had to say for myself was that I got a job and earned money.
That's not friggin' good enough.
I don't necessarily have something telling me I need to do something BIG or anything (though I seem to really be living it up at the moment and am genuinely enjoying life), but I do know the idea of the "rHu mansion" is incredible, and it would pump up my life Barry Bonds style.
REALLY imagine it... rather than settling into that mundane "normal" life and all of us disappearing to our own towns possibly hundreds of miles away from each other, the "mansion" happened, and there we are all together. That would be SOOO huge!
Great sitе. Α lot of useful informаtіon here.
I am ѕending it to a feω friends ans аdditionallу sharing in ԁelicіous.
And naturally, thanks in youг sweаt!

Hі, Thеre's no doubt that your website might be having internet browser compatibility problems. Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Besides that, great blog!
